More on Australian Open
Description from Wikipedia:
The Australian Open is one of the principal annual golf tournaments on the PGA Tour of Australasia. The event was first played in 1904 and takes place toward the end of each year. It is run by Golf Australia and is one of the "national opens" which have a special status in the Official World Golf Rankings's points system, with a minimum level of points guaranteed for the winner regardless of the strength of the field.
The winner of the tournament receives the Stonehaven Cup. Although the prize money is now fairly modest compared to many other golf tournaments, especially on the PGA Tour and the European Tour, the Australian Open's position as the national open of one of the traditional golf powers means that its roll of honour for the years from the mid 1950s to the late 1980s includes many of the most distinguished international golfers of that era, including several Americans. However, in recent years fewer leading international players have entered and the winners list has come to be dominated by Australians again.
The 2008 Australian Open will be played at Royal Sydney Golf Club in New South Wales and is so far known to feature defending champion Craig Parry, Geoff Ogilvy and Adam Scott but more names are expected to be announced shortly.
